Combat the Winter Flu & Summer Allergy Season

One of the more often overlooked aspects of HVAC is the V or ventilation.
Everyone talks about heating and air conditioning but ventilation is an
incredibly important part of indoor comfort and safety as well. When designing
an HVAC system for your building, store, office or home, it’s important
to not forget to include some serious thinking about the air purifier.

Importance of Air Purifiers

You might initially think that the addition of an air purifier to your
ventilation system would be superfluous, but that would be a fairly dangerous
line of thinking. Especially in the winter and the summer, it’s
rare for people in a building to introduce fresh air to a building’s
HVAC system on their own by opening doors or windows. After all, the weather
tends to be on the extreme during those times of the year, especially
here in Milford, Fairfield County, and the surrounding areas. As a result,
the constantly recycled air can get dry and dusty, picking up particulates
from the building itself and from the people who come in to and out of
the building. Since people tend to close off the system even more than
usual in spring and summer, it becomes increasingly difficult for that
particulate matter, and the irritants that go along with it, to find their
way outside of the HVAC system in a natural way.

Installing an air purifier is a foolproof money-saving strategy, especially
for people running a business. But removing impurities from the air, you
help combat both the winter flu season and all of those summer allergies
and pollen issues—two big causes of sick days and drastically lowered
productivity. Additionally, a number of air purifier systems also include
ionization—this creates ozone or air with a negative ionic charge.

In some studies, negatively charged air has been shown to provide the following benefits:

Helps remove questionable odors from the air

Combat depression

Give workers an additional infusion of energy that they would not have
otherwise had

Air Purifier Maintenance

In order to truly benefit from your air purifier, it is important that
you have it maintained and cleaned on a regular basis—at least once
or twice a year. After all, that particulate matter and all of those air
irritants have to go somewhere. Unless the filtration system is cleaned
and sent through diagnostic tests fairly regularly, it would be easy for
your air purifier to get clogged and stop performing effectively.
